SEC Filings

The Macerich
Company (the Company) is involved in the acquisition, ownership, development, redevelopment, management and leasing of regional and community/power shopping centers located throughout the United States. The Company is the sole general
partner of, and owns a majority of the ownership interests in, The Macerich Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the Operating Partnership).

As of December 31, 2017, the Operating Partnership owned or had an ownership interest in 48 regional shopping centers and seven
community/power shopping centers aggregating approximately 53 million square feet of gross leasable area (GLA). These 55 centers (which include any related office space) are referred to hereinafter as the Centers, unless
the context requires otherwise.

The Company is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (REIT) and
conducts all of its operations through the Operating Partnership and the Companys management companies (collectively, the Management Companies).

All references to the Company in this Exhibit include the Company, those entities owned or controlled by the Company and predecessors of the
Company, unless the context indicates otherwise.

The Company presents certain measures in this Exhibit on a pro rata basis which
represents (i) the measure on a consolidated basis, minus the Companys partners share of the measure from its consolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon the partners percentage ownership interest); plus (ii) the
Companys share of the measure from its unconsolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon the Companys percentage ownership interest). Management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors regarding its
financial condition and/or results of operations because they include the Companys share of the applicable amount from unconsolidated joint ventures and exclude the Companys partners share from consolidated joint ventures, in each
case presented on the same basis. The Company has several significant joint ventures and the Company believes that presenting various measures in this manner can help investors better understand the Companys financial condition and/or results
of operations after taking into account its economic interest in these joint ventures. Management also uses these measures to evaluate regional property level performance and to make decisions about resource allocations. The Companys economic
interest (as distinct from its legal ownership interest) in certain of its joint ventures could fluctuate from time to time and may not wholly align with its legal ownership interests because of provisions in certain joint venture agreements
regarding distributions of cash flow based on capital account balances, allocations of profits and losses, payments of preferred returns and control over major decisions. Additionally, the Company does not control its unconsolidated joint ventures
and the presentation of certain items, such as assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, from these unconsolidated joint ventures does not represent the Companys legal claim to such items.
